(Archive) Suez clashes - Asmaa Waguih/Reuters
Five people, including a woman, were killed in Suez on Wednesday when clashes between security forces and supporters of former President Mohamed Mursi broke out, a health ministry official said.
Around 50 others were injured in the clashes, said Mohamed al-Azizi, the health ministry's undersecretary in Suez.
Four army tanks were torched to the ground by Mursi's supporters, a military source in Suez told Aswat Masriya.
Pro-Mursi protesters set the Catholic Good Shepherd Church and the Fransiscan School in Suez on fire earlier today.
They also clashed with the police and army forces near a complex of government buildings in the city.
